26/11

This poem is dedicated to all those men guarding the borders of this vast nation, as they protect us everyday so that we can live our lives at peace.

Tragedy struck Mumbai on 26/11,
Few ruthless men with an evil ploy,
Took control of the Taj and Oberoi,
As the world watched helpless in horror,
They played around with bullets and fire.

Many were trapped and many were slain,
These ones from across the border were indeed insane,
They killed young ones and did not spare women,
Sadly enough they called themselves men.

Men were those who went inside,
To protect their own, they lost their lives,
Men were those who lost loved ones,
And inspite of the grief, served their countrymen with pride.

The men of terror were brought down to dust,
By men who delivered, the men you could trust,
Even though it ended, there was an eerie silence,
Rage and Anger became the aftermath of violence.

Only when it ended did it really sink in,
The terror attack had instilled a fear within,
And inspite of the fear we dare to be normal today,
'We still believe in peace' is what Mumbaikars say.

Lets salute our martyrs who gave up their lives,
To keep us protected and keep India's glory alive,
Oh Men of honour!! We pray for you and your families,
We thank you, for you have given a new meaning to our lives.
